Product Description

Product Description

The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations offers students a stimulating, contemporary perspective on a subject that is often perceived to be remote and difficult. The law of trusts is examined from a modern conceptual perspective and students are introduced to areas where trusts enjoy practical significance. This text remains accessible for students without sacrificing detailed critical comment and engages with cutting edge issues, particularly the relationship between the law of property and the law of restitution. Written in a lively and stimulating style and supported by a strong analytical framework, this book presents the law of trusts in a relevant and exciting manner. The fourth edition of The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations provides comprehensive coverage of the syllabi for the majority of degree level courses on the law of equity and trusts. It includes coverage of the Charities Bill 2005, the Civil Partnersip Act 2004, developments in the law surrounding constructive trusts, proprietory estoppel, and new cases relating to the right to access trust documents and challenge the excercise of the trustee's discretions. A new Online Resource Centre containing twice-yearly updates to the text, accompanies this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, 22 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations (Paperback)
This book is fantastic. It is hard to find a book to recommend to students that has the depth of analysis necessary for a third year topic, but outlines the various rules and principles for a broad and accurate understanding of the application of trusts. Bear in mind that this is a text book, not a cases and materials book. It is clear, well expressed, detailed, and provides sufficient academic analysis to benefit the third year student. Diagrams are used to for those who learn visually, but are not intrinsic to the text, so can be ignored if the reader wishes. My students tend to favour this book above others. Negatives: Some chapters are a little over-long and the index is appalling.

1.0 out of 5 stars Obtuse, baffling, badly written and riddled with typos, 4 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations (Paperback)
A disaster of a text book which makes an already difficult subject even more impenetrable.

Key cases are badly, yet long-windedly explained, the index is hopeless, there's no glossary, and typos confusing tranferee and tranferor abound. This book required very close editing and proof reading and despite being in its third edition, shows no evidence of having had such attention.

Run a million miles from this steaming pile of ordure. If it's you're assigned text, bad luck. refer to it to see which areas you're supposed to be covering and read another text book.

Merely my 2 pence worth – your mileage may vary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure to read - detailed and well researched, 2 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations (Paperback)
I honestly believe that those who gave this book a bad review are either (a) not very bright and/or (b) have never actually read the book itself.

It is a well written and lucid book that was researched with vigour.

The book covers the essentials of Trust law.
1. A history of Equity
2. Certainty (of intention, subject matter and objects)
3. Formalities and Constitution
4. Purpose trusts (e.g. trusts for a charity)
5. Resulting and constructive trusts
6. Trustees powers and duties
7. Liability for breach of trusts
8. Tracing

I have read the whole book, and (I know most law students will find this hard to believe) I really did enjoy it.
It flows well, and I read 100 pages with ease.
It was my recommended textbook and I am glad it was.

There are a few typos (pages 397, 541, 512, 635)but who really cares?

I think this book, now in its third edition has an excellent balance between facts, cases, principles and criticism.

Furthermore it is easy to understand.

Ignore the bad reviews, they are absolutely wrong.
